Decadent Belgian Chocolate Cake

This cupcake is simply incredibly delicious. A real pleasure! This is pure chocolate bliss. Instead of heat-resistant chocolate chips, I added regular Belgian chocolate chips. It will melt into the dough and the cake will turn out even tastier than it could have been.

Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Prepare the ingredients. For a wet, moist chocolate cake we will need: cocoa, flour, water, sugar, vanilla sugar, chocolate drops (you can do without them, but it turns out much tastier with them), baking powder, unflavoured vegetable oil, lemon juice, cinnamon and salt.

Step 2

Step 2
Combine all dry ingredients: flour, cocoa, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.

Step 3

Step 3
Mix everything well with a spoon..

Step 4

Step 4
Separately combine water, lemon juice and vegetable oil. Mix everything.

Step 5

Step 5
Pour a mixture of lemon juice and vegetable oil into the chocolate-flour mixture and stir with a whisk until smooth.

Step 6

Step 6
Add chocolate chips to the dough and mix again.

Step 7

Step 7
Line a cake pan with parchment and sprinkle with flour. I just greased it with butter and sprinkled it with flour. If you have a silicone mold, then you don’t need to do anything — the finished cake will separate from it itself. Pour the dough into the mold.

Step 8

Step 8
Place the wet cake in an oven preheated to 180°C and bake for 35-40 minutes. Remove the finished cake from the oven and cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then remove from the mold, sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired and cut into pieces. Attention, all ovens have their own character, check the readiness of the cake, the baking time and temperature for you may differ from mine!
